Quaint and centrally located

After comparing review after review, I booked this hotel for my husband and I. Two other couples traveling with us booked it as well. We all found it to be so charming. The location was perfect. We heard the area (Spanish Quarter) was sketchy so we did not wander around after dark. During the day it was just fine. In fact, we liked it better than the other parts of Naples. Yes, there are convent bells that ring every morning at 0700 and 0730 but we are all early risers and this was not a problem for us. The breakfast was a suitable European style, pastries, cereals, canned fruit, yogurt, sliced meats, hard boiled eggs, etc. The beds are typically firm. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The rooms were very clean and perfectly modern without losing charm of the historic building. My only complaint was the smoke inside the halls (my room was fine). I know, its Italy but I was pregnant and really couldn't take too much.More

We stayed with our 9 year old daughter in one of the junior suites for 4 nights and were delighted with our room. The room was fantastic....clean, spacious, large bathroom, a mini bar, coffee/tea in room, etc. Staff was helpful and recommended the best restaurant (ever!) right around the corner....Villa Toledo (I hope that is the correct name). We could eat there every night. Our daughter loved sleeping in the loft. We found the room to be very quiet on the 2nd floor (room 28). We had read about the church bells, but they did not go off until 7 am every day and we were up anyway. In a city with so many churches, church bells are to be expected. The continental breakfast was lovely every day.....much to choose from. We adored their cappucinos! We would highly recommend the hotel. The rates were very reasonable, esp. with the 4th night at 1/2 price. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

We were four girls on a holiday. We had the quad room, which suited us perfectly. The shower is tiny, but the room, with loft, was just fine. Charming breakfast room with plenty to choose from. We walked to the ferry to Capri. Receptionist is very helpful.The convent bells did go off early, but we wanted to be up, regardless. The beds are hard, but typical for this area.

We arrived at the hotel later than we expected because the train between Sorrento and Naples broke down, resulting in a two-hour delay. When we finally got to the hotel, Maria greeted us with a big smile and a nice surprise: an upgrade from a double room to a junior suite at the same price. The room was lovely--spacious with our own patio and a large bathroom with a great shower. The location was perfect, right off Via Toledo. We could walk to the Piazza del Plebiscito and to other sites, and we felt safe doing so. When we needed to take a bus, Maria and Luca gave us clear directions. Although Via Toledo has many high-end stores, we preferred the vendors. Great stuff at good prices!

We stayed at the hotel for two nights and thoroughly enjoyed it. Breakfast was good, and sometimes they had pastries out during the day. Our air conditioner was working even though it was only April. We liked this hotel a lot and would definitely stay there again. There is so much to see in Naples, the people are very friendly and we intend to return and spend more time.

We've stayed 5 nights in Il Convento, located in the Spanish Quarters of Napoli.

The service was very correct overall, the staff being nice and available.The room was very clean and functional, but also very small (especially the double bed).

The location is great, for several reasons: It is in the Spanish Quarters, which is a Napoli sight in itself, it is within walking distance of many other Napoli sights (the historical center, the hill, the shore, the castles, etc), and close of many food places and shopping areas.However, this comes with a price, as you have be ready for very noisy nights (the rooms come with anti-noise ear plugs for a reason...), as the surroundings are very lively until late (early..) and there is a honk symphony going on for most of the night. Moreover, the hotel is next to a church, which extremely noisy bells are ringing in the early morning, at what seems to be random hours.

The hotel is equipped with a free wifi (which is very weak in the rooms, but good in the public areas). The breakfast was very average: not a lot of choice, no fresh fruits or juice (and considering the amount of fresh fruits you can find in southern Italy, it is a pity....), no fresh bread. However, the coffee is good, and so are the pastries (Sfogliatelle).

What I liked the best was the location, you really feel like in the popular heart of Napoli, and you are close of about everything. What I didn't like was the very poor sleep quality, and the price, a bit steep considering the drawbacks.

Overall, I think it is a decent hotel, very well located, but overpriced for what it is.

We decided to leave Sorrento and booked Il Convento the same day. The price was great, so we booked based on previous TA reviews. This hotel was a nice change from the poor experience we had in Sorrento and the staff was really friendly and helpful. The rooms are very clean, cozy, and have a nice pictures on the wall. It's a 17th century building (I think) that has been completely renovated inside, with a bit of the old building's brick showing through in a few spots, which adds to the ambiance. The Hotel is located at the bottom of the Spanish Quarters and is easy walking distance from the harbor, an amazing looking shopping mall, and lots of tourist stands & restaurants. I highly recommend Pizzeria Di Matteos, the fried macaroni&cheese and the pizza were the best we had in all of Italy. The hotel had a fantastic included breakfast, I recommend this hotel all around.
